What about going the other way ? Is it possible to split the
send/receive. I'm most unhappy having to read all my mail boxes at once
(takes time, takes network bandwidth) each time I wish to send a mail.
Looks like yet another bad MS idea people got used to :-(
Well does'nt the local "get mail" should get only the currently used
account ? Disappointed.
OK I can go each time to Parameters and unselect accounts. But it's
really boring.
